They send me away to find them a fortune
A chest filled with diamonds and gold
The house was awake, the shadows and monsters
The hallways, they echoed and groaned
I sat alone, in bed till the morning
I'm crying, "They're coming for me"
And I tried to hold these secrets inside me
My mind's like a deadly disease
I'm bigger than my body
I'm colder than this home
I'm meaner than my demons
I'm bigger than these bones
Man thinks about a little baby girls and a baby boys
Man makes then happy 'cause man makes them toys
And after man has made everything, everything he can
You know that man makes money to buy from other man
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
- Dedication (Isidore Reede): Broken Pieces - Apocalyptica ft. Lacey Sturm
Too late, this is not the answer
I need to pack it in
I can't pull your heart together with just my voice alone
A thousand shards of glass I came to meet you in
You cut the peace out of me
And as you ripped it all apart
That's when I turned to watch you
And as the light in you went dark
I saw you turn to shadow
If you would salvage some part of you that once knew love
But I'm losing this
And I'm losing you
- Dedication (Alexander Clayton): How Did You Love - Shinedown
You can have the sound of a thousand voices calling your name
You can have the light of the world blind you, bath you in grace
But I don't see so easily what you hold in your hands
'Cause castles crumble, kingdoms fall and turn into sand
You can be an angel of mercy or give in to hate
You can try to buy it just like every other careless mistake
How do you justify, I'm mystified by the ways of your heart
With a million lies the truth will rise to tear you apart
Whoa
No one gets out alive, every day is do or die
The one thing you leave behind
Is how did you love, how did you love?
It's not what you believe, those prayers will make you bleed
But while you're on your knees
How did you love, how did you love, how did you love?
She has a serious interest in marine conservation efforts due to her diving and her work in underwater archaeology.
She was a competitive kid and was in a variety of sports teams when she was in middle school and high school - basketball, volleyball, swimming and track, to be specific.
She likes spicy food, and isn't fond of too-sweet things.
Dandelions are her favorite flowers. They're largely considered either salad fixings or weeds, but she has her reasons.
She's an unapologetic dog person who can never own a dog of her own. She is especially fond of German Shepherds.
She can't cook worth a damn, but she can make coffee, cut things up to make a salad and slap together a sandwich.
She's a reckless driver and a terror on the road when she's in a hurry.
She doesn't dress up or wears makeup unless she absolutely has to, and often shies away from dresses or skirts.
She is almost never without her moonstone pendant and most Mentalists who attempt to read it generally experience a nuclear bomb of emotional impressions when they do. On at least one occasion, it's literally led others into preventing her from causing disaster.
Isabella's fraternal twin, he took after Irene as much as Isabella took after George - he called her Leela due to the fact that he couldn't pronounce her actual name when he was 2, and the nickname stuck as they grew older. He vanished mysteriously when he was 16, during the night of their Junior Prom. Throughout his youth, he was considered a talented and popular young man with plenty of girlfriends, and somewhat of a genius regarding his abilities, prone to experimenting with them with Isabella in their childhood, and heedlessly exploring the Veil and Dreams despite his mother's warnings. His bond with his sister was extreme and complete, treading well into the line of utter co-dependence, to the point that anything that hurt him hurt her and vice-versa. There were absolutely no boundaries between them until his disappearance in 2008, when he forcibly severed their connection and disabling Isabella psychically in the process. The trauma of his loss rendered her permanently incapable of reaching her full potential with any aspect, and communicating mind-to-mind without some careful finagling.
She tends to treat anything regarding her twin brother as verboten - something that shouldn't be spoken of by her friends and associates unless she brings it up first, or the rare moments in which she is inclined to actually answer a question about him. But to those who know her best, however few that is, they might get the distinct impression that she knows more about what happened to him than she is willing to say.
In the Fall of 2019, Alexander Clayton managed to hear the whole story about his disappearance from Isabella as part of an agreement they made while she was recuperating in Addington Memorial after gunshot wounds she sustained from the Two If By Sea shooting involving Billy Gohl and Sheriff Addington.
"We can try being difficult together." -- Alexander Clayton to Isabella Reede, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy
Isabella knew of Alexander Clayton in her youth as the town's conspiracy theorist who meddled constantly in the affairs of its law enforcement authorities, and recently made his acquaintance when her childhood friend, Byron Thorne, introduced them in his efforts to look out for her, knowing that the man had some information about the mysterious force that seemed determined to kill anyone with Baxter blood. Alexander proved to be a surprising puzzle to her - strange, twitchy, almost too interested in the dark and macabre, and not the best at social interactions. But he was also brilliant and clever in his own right, with a penchant for subtle humor, and capable of lightheartedness and teasing...enough to challenge her preconceived notions of him and pose a direct conflict with her friendship with Byron, who isn't Alexander's biggest fan.
Despite the short period of their acquaintance, they've managed to run a gamut of experiences within mere weeks of knowing one another - the last few months have seen them tackling cursed artifacts, ghostly serial killers, dark family mysteries, strange Veil creatures and even the revelation that they're distantly related, with Alexander descended from the main matrilineal Baxter line, and Isabella descended from the main patrilineal Baxter line. The things they get up to together and apart are, quite frankly, ridiculous and the amount of stress they tend to bring to whatever it is they have is not-insignificant, but as much as conflicts tend to rise between them because of these, they've managed, so far, to not just stay together but strengthen their bond also, even and especially after informing one another of the broader scope of their troubled (and horrific, in Alexander's case) histories.
She loves him, and he loves her, but it doesn't change the fact that he would rather see her away from Gray Harbor and believes that she should leave, so she could do the things she wants, and see the places she would like to see...and she knows, deep down, that he's not wrong.
"We can be hopeless together, and drink wine together, and you can ask as many questions as I'm able to answer." -- Anne Washburn to Isabella Reede, Hopeless Together
Anne and Isabella's friendship took off to a running start after the archaeologist decided to consult with her about the history of Gray Pond, which led them into discovering that they have more in common than initially anticipated, with a fondness for history, exploration, discovery, wine, dogs and difficult men (who ostensibly went to school together, and did not get along at all)...and most importantly, their painful separation from their siblings. There is much about Anne's experiences and mannerisms that resonate with Isabella's own, so it probably isn't all too surprising that they've become fast friends so quickly, bound together by similar pursuits and their intense passions regarding them - both are members of the Historical Society, and the fledgling Veil Cartographer's Club, spending more and more time together as the months pass and the seasons change.
And there's only bound to be more - more excursions, more journeys into the breach together, and despite whatever trepidations she feels on that end, Isabella can't help but look forward to all of them.
"Your Art's rebuilding what it can, in its way. Maybe you won't get it all back, but, we usually don't. Not after...something like that." -- Dr. August Roen to Isabella Reede, Background Noise
A fellow field researcher and academic with his phD in Botany; one would think they would have more in common than they actually do, but she is as significantly different from August as she is significantly similar to Captain de la Vega. Were it not for the Gohl affair, it was likely that Isabella wouldn't have had much reason to interact with August at all - but Circumstance had other plans, which eventually led them into surviving an unusual Dream together. Like the mighty aspen, she finds the man a steady and reliable presence, and more often than not finds his experience and insight invaluable, and knows him as a personality with an unshakable penchant for giving good and solid advice. Alexander is fond of saying that August is a good friend to have in the event of an apocalypse - this is an opinion that Isabella shares.
"If it were up to me, you wouldn't need to worry about losing anyone anymore." -- Byron Thorne to Isabella Reede, The Art of Losing
To be friends with one of the Reede twins meant being friends with the other, as was the case with Byron Thorne, whose gregarious, sociable demeanor managed to breach their tight-knit circle of two and make a space for himself within it...to the point that Captain George Reede, a self-made man in his own right, became one of the Thorne boy's earliest investors. Isidore was a major contributor to Byron's early understanding of his Glimmer talents, and he maintained a colorful, friendly rivalry with the infinitely more competitive Isabella throughout their childhood and teenaged years, ultimately the fate of two driven, ambitious individuals.
In the end, it was a friendship that was indelibly marked by loss; Sid Reede and Byron's best friend's mother both mysteriously disappeared around the same time, with Isabella being sent away to New Orleans shortly after. They had not seen, nor spoken to one another for eleven years until a dark mystery and an investment opportunity conspired to return them to one another's orbit. Between them, it's as if nothing has changed, but certain things have...and significantly at that. Despite their estrangement, however, they've managed to pick up where they left off over a decade ago, constantly in one another's orbit during social functions and side-by-side when dealing with the unique dangers that Gray Harbor typically presents to its children. While it's not a relationship without its tensions, given Byron's resentments that have been held over from his early life, and Isabella's reluctance to tell him anything about Isidore's disappearance (not to mention the occasional personality clashes since they tend to be so similar in other things), the fact that they've never been closer is relatively undeniable.
"So when you get overly drunk you...talk about the middle ages? That's...hilarious. I usually just get naked and even more inappropriate." -- Easton Marshall to Isabella Reede, The Key To Something
Isabella's favorite bartender in the entire city, if not just because he visited her in the hospital and remembered to deliver her drink, which she didn't manage to consume before she got shot five times at his bar. Now that is service.
Circumstances led her into teaching him how to deliberately look for lost things, and dealing with her mother's murderer has later brought Isabella to the realization that Easton is more than the easygoing joker that he is on the surface, and like most fighting men, is perpetually haunted by his own demons. In Easton's case, his haunting is very much literal. In the Fall of 2019, he nearly murdered his girlfriend, Bennie Oakes, and the intense guilt spiral that caused has led him and Isabella into forging a better friendship.
These days, the two of them share what Isabella dubs their "last call tradition," namely after a long day, she stops by a few minutes before TIBS shuts down to have a drink with him, and they catch up. She does this semi-regularly, to the point that TIBS staff just come to expect her around the very late hours.
"It's what you do for someone you love, always want more for them. Because you love them. It's just the way it is." -- Erin Addington to Isabella Reede, What It Means To Be There
Growing up, the Addingtons always seemed to be from another world entirely - perceptions largely colored by a childhood and adolescence devoid of enough perspective to be able to see past the surface. Isabella is a Baxter, Erin is an Addington - if history had the right of it, the two women should be fierce competitors at best and mortal enemies at worst. But their familial tragedies have had the opposite effect of pulling the two together, and while their connection is at its early stages, it is a reliable foundation enough to encourage the hope that they would somehow defy the bloody history that threatens to swallow them both.
They've made it a habit to reiterate that promise - to not let the history of their families define what they have with one another - in both words and actions, and they're able to bolster one another up in times when their resonating loneliness becomes too much; Isabella is perpetually hungry for significant connections, nevermind the fact that she would never admit it, and Erin aches to find the kind of love that also respects her growing independence outside of the family that has kept her relatively sheltered for most of her life. The two women couldn't be any different, but if nothing else, the contrasts they make with one another have helped more than hindered the growth of their friendship.
"I was so mad at you for that idea. So mad. Like you were trying to take him from me and I just... got him back in... whatever capacity. I can't have all of him, he belongs to someone else. But I-- I know you didn't mean to do that and you were just thinking of the results for the greater good. But... the path matters too. Intentions pave all kinds of ways to hell." -- Lilith Winslow to Isabella Reede, Impatient Patient
In spite of going to the same school and interacting with plenty of the same people, Isabella had not had an opportunity to actually get to know Lilith Winslow until much later, though she is fully aware of her important position as Byron Thorne's first, and possibly only love. But a shared disaster with a cursed ring, and the other woman's later involvement in matters connected to the vengeful spirit who took Isabella's mother's life has helped in catching up on these missed instances to form a connection. A survivor in her own right, forced to deal with her frightening potential by herself, the archaeologist has become privy to the fact that Lilith is more than just her power: she is beautiful, clever and strong, but fragile, too, unsure about her place in the world and craves the kind of human connection that she also struggles to keep even when she finds it. All qualities that Isabella appreciates and finds some degree of resonance with. Since then, she has become a permanent fixture in Isabella's personal List.
They've grown closer throughout the Gohl matter and the trouble surrounding the Lover's Jewel. With Byron and Vivian parting ways in the Fall of 2019 due to his closeness to Lilith, Isabella is fully aware that her friendship with her will probably complicate her own connection with Vivian. But she's unable to keep herself from liking both women despite their history and is resolved to keep her promises to both while maintaining a considerable distance from romances involving Byron Thorne - though that's easier said than done.
"You have a desire to disassemble things so you can understand how they tick. I want to stop more people from dying. We need to find a way. Help me find a way. Stop fucking around and help me find a way." -- Captain Javier Ruiz de la Vega to Isabella Reede, Too Alike, But Too Different, But Too Alike
Anyone would find de la Vega intimidating, given his rank as a captain in the local police department, his tours as a marine and the fact that he is built like, and has the demeanor of, a brick wall - none of which actually discourages Isabella from interacting with him in the occasions when they're thrown together by one bit of strangeness or another. The days following her mother's death has him making the effort of teaching her, advising her, and even lending an ear, all for which she is grateful. For in Gray Harbor, the true mark of concern is when one encourages another to leave the city and never return, and despite only knowing her for a few short weeks, Ruiz has done just that.
They have more in common than they know, or are willing to admit to anyone - like the poles of a magnet, they are just as likely to attract one another as they are to repel each other, opposing forces of nature held at bay, neither of which know how to back down regardless of whether it is wise. In her, he sees an avenue through which he can atone for his many sins, and through him, she sees a way in which to improve from her many failures, because her inexhaustible will to defy the odds is no longer enough. There are many things about her relationship with the Captain that echo her connection with Alexander Clayton, and much like that one, Time will only tell as to whether they'll manage to bolster each other up, or tear each other down.
"I get the hatred, and it isn't going away. You don't purge, you control. You vent and reduce. And then? Wrap your arms around all of the great things that comes with this particular ride too." -- Dr. Yule Duchannes to Isabella Reede, Weird Science
Their relationship started out on a whim; Isabella ended up winning a dinner with Yule during Joey Kelly's Jell-O wrestling charity auction, in which one of Yule's girlfriends, Philomena Sparrow Jones, was a combatant. Upon discovery of a mutual love for scotch and intellectual discourse, they immediately struck an amicable connection that dovetailed quickly into various, and dangerous, forays into the unknown. If asked, she wouldn't be able to pinpoint, exactly, what it is about Yule that enables her to speak to him more openly than some of her closer acquaintances - it may be inspired by just as much of their similarities as their differences, or how they are able to connect intellectually, or the fact that he is always so quick to bolster her whenever uncertainty starts to crack at her confident facade without regard for whether she asks for it, or is receptive to it, or how willing he is to share parts of himself without fear or thought of reciprocation. Maybe all of the above, and her growing appreciation for his qualities and flaws has secured him the rare place in her life as an occasional confidant.
To her, Grant Baxter was an accidental and incredible find; she liked him immediately the moment he regaled everyone with the most creative version of the Hannukah story she has ever heard to date. Grant is related to her through his great-great-grandfather, Robert Baxter, who had three sons and a daughter. He is descended from the third son, while Isabella is descended from the second.
Isabella and Rebecca were linked by tragedy well before they discovered they were blood; the former's mother and the latter's sister were two of Billy Gohl's victims in his rampage during the Summer of 2019. Like her connection with Grant, Rebecca comes from her branch of the Baxter tree, having descended from the first son of Robert Baxter.
Tim is a very recent discovery upon the surprising revelation that the original Baxter couple of Gray Harbor had three children, and not two like Isabella's research had initially claimed. Tim is descended from that formerly unknown son; his aunt was ultimately responsible for most of the Baxter descendants having what is, so far, the most complete genealogical map of the Baxter family tree to date, though its accuracy remains to be proven.
A former FBI agent and a proud member of the Quinault Nation. Isabella met him by chance due to his two dogs, and later discovered that he's going to be her neighbor, once he manages to find a houseboat to purchase in her corner of Gray Harbor. Surprisingly open for a law enforcement professional, he is her primary source for information regarding the region's Native American roots, and finds him generally fascinating to talk to considering his breadth of knowledge on his culture.
Easton's girlfriend, and the paramedic who is instrumental in saving Isabella's life in the gunfight between William Gohl and Sheriff Addington in the Summer of 2019. She nearly died in Easton's hands after a splinter of Gohl's spirit drove him in a rage. Also a friend of Alexander's and drives what's possibly the most fun rig in all of GHFD.
An unfailingly stylish woman with a razor tongue and designer heels to match, and plagued by the persistent rumors that she killed her husband in spite of her position in the city's sociopolitical ladder. Isabella met her acquaintance in her pursuit for a membership in the Gray Harbor Historical Society, being its Chairwoman. They have exchanged information about Joshua Foster's casino project, which she, too, is determined to stop.
When Isabella was growing up, Likely Stories was a favorite haunt and she has spent most of her childhood as a fixture in the Webers' business. Now that certain family ties have been revealed, she has reacquainted herself with Elias, an old schoolmate and recently discovered as a distant cousin through the woman that Lindon Baxter, Isabella's great-great-great-grandfather, had married. Newly roped into the family mystery, the two distant relations have quickly become research comrades, though time will only tell as to what they'll manage to discover together.
While Detectives Charlie Morgan and Gabriel Quintanilla interviewed her at the same time with respect to the controversial casino project active in Gray Harbor, Isabella has more of a relationship with the latter than the former. The two have an amicable acquaintanceship, and she is more willing to share information (and even talk about things of a more personal nature) with Gabriel than almost anyone else in the GHPD.
Alexander's roommate and best friend, and a woman who happens to be one of the people instrumental in saving her life in the Two If By Sea Time-Dream when the gunfight between William Gohl and Sheriff Addington erupted. Her gentle and sweet demeanor makes Isolde likable immediately, though Isabella knows there is more under the surface.
She was extremely late to the party when Isabella discovered that Ruiz and Itzhak were an item, but well before that development she had already heard of the man. Not just through Alexander's fascination with his mind, and the fact that everyone else seems to like him, but also his reputation as a talented violinist and mechanic. Despite their rocky start, he offered to assist her in reclaiming the control she has lost regarding her moving abilities.
The woman Isabella remembers as responsible for felling William Gohl in the nightmare gunfight that erupted in Two If By Sea during the Summer of 2019, and who she later learned as instrumental in defeating worm-dopplegangers in the Carousel Incident of 2019. Some of the details she has learned about her past disturbingly resonates with Isabella's own.
Dubbed "Cambridge" out of his hearing (with the man having graduated from Oxford University's main rival), Patrick and Isabella's interactions thus far have been confined to multiple shenanigans that include an unfortunate incident prompting Isabella to accidentally set his pants on fire on Halloween 2019 and pelting him with a wayward snowball in the Great Snowball Fight of 2019. He is Anne's "something," and one of the very few blond men that she deems "unfairly attractive."
Oxford University's Lincoln Professor of Classical Archaeology and Art, Isabella's mentor who sent her back to her hometown so she could assist him with his latest consultation project.
Isabella's grandfather, who is in his eighties and suffering from a currently unknown degenerative neural disease, but is presently still spry and fit despite his age. He delights in his role as the unexpected family menace, as Alexander managed to discover after having dinner with him during Christmas 2019. He is a retired admiral of the U.S. Navy. His son, George, followed in his footsteps, and perhaps would have also achieved the same rank were it not for his career-ending accident. He spends most of his time in Annapolis, though considering his recent diagnosis, there are plans to move him back to Gray Harbor to be closer to his son, George.
A Navy man and former commander of the USS Indomitable until a severe accident that took off his right leg from the knee down. He now spends a quiet life in retirement with his wife, Irene, and occasionally lends his expertise out as a master diver to tourists and locals alike interested in obtaining their diver's certification.
After the brutal murder of his wife, and battling with his headstrong daughter about it, George left Gray Harbor with his wife's ashes and his dog, a German Shepherd named Skipper, to stay with his sister, Mary Reede, in New Orleans for a while. Word has it that Isabella wouldn't have convinced him were it not for the help of her aunt - a force of nature in her own right.
Largely raised in the opposite coast before her marriage to George, she was considered an attractive, but secretive woman in her youth. Her son's disappearance has left her in fragile health.
On the night of July 27, 2019, Irene Baxter Reede met her end at the hands of the infamous Gray Harbor Ghoul, the fifth victim of a mysterious serial killer's rampage. She was found by her husband in the bathtub of her own home, her throat opened in a grisly smile. After her body had been examined, at the wishes of her husband and daughter, she was cremated, and her ashes taken by George away from Gray Harbor.
Mary Reede's (currently) eight-year old twins, from an unknown father. Seph is a hockey enthusiast, and Nica is already an unrepentant foodie, eager to follow her mother's footsteps. She also proposed marriage to Alexander during Christmas dinner in 2019.
George's younger sister and Isabella's aunt, a chef who lives in New Orleans and occasionally moonlights as a psychic consultant, inclinations left over from her earlier years as a relentless ghost hunter in Gray Harbor before she decided that cooking was her real calling. Unlike her older brother, she possesses Glimmer abilities. Isabella visits her as often as she can.
She was just as infamous in her youth, warily and fondly remembered by the city's older generations as "Typhoon" Mary Reede; her penchant for getting into trouble was matched only by her uncanny ability to get out of it - a proclivity inherited by her niece and nephew.
The family dog. Skipper is a three year old German Shepherd, and the first in a long line of Reede family dogs that wasn't named Rocky or Rambo due to an insane love for Stallone movies by the men of the family.
Academic - Isabella is an accomplished academic who recently obtained her doctorate from Oxford University's School of Archaeology and presently assisting her British mentor in his latest consulting job, which required her to reacquaint herself with her estranged hometown. She is engaged in the search for a long-lost ship last spotted in Gray Harbor in 1895, bankrolled by a major marine exploration company based in Delaware.
Antiquities Enthusiast - Much of her life's work has been devoted to the discovery and recovery of lost things left abandoned in some of the most difficult places to reach, so it isn't surprising that she has a fondness for museums and artifacts.
Baxter Family - Isabella's mother is a Baxter, a member of the original founding family of Gray Harbor before they were bought out (or so they say) by the Addingtons.
Childhood - Isabella spent her childhood and teenaged years in Gray Harbor, until the disappearance of her twin brother had her mother sending her away to live with an aunt in New Orleans. She would have been a member of Teddy S. Addington High School's Class of 2010 if she had not moved away.
Cold Case - The investigation behind Isidore Reede's disappearance is a cold case, documented in the files of the Gray Harbor Police Department.
Diving - Captain George Reede, Isabella's father, is a master diver, and during his retirement has assisted interested locals and tourists alike in obtaining their diver's certification. Isabella has followed in his footsteps.
Gray Harbor Historical Society - She became an official member of the Gray Harbor Historical Society in IC October 2019.
Hunting - Isabella was Daddy's Little Girl growing up, and as a result, adopted many of his passions, including hunting. She's an able enough tracker and markswoman.
Jazz - While she doesn't play an instrument herself, Isabella developed an appreciation for the genre after living in New Orleans for time.
Veil Explorer - Isabella is a co-founder of the Veil Cartography Club along with Anne Washburn and August Roen, and has done plenty of research and mapping on Gray Harbor's other side. She also writes various reports to the group in the event that she gets a chance to explore thin points outside of Gray Harbor given her occupation, and organizes expeditions through the Doorways. If you want to be involved, poke me for RP!
Almost since the city's founding, the Reede family of Gray Harbor has always tied its fortunes to the sea and over the years, its members have run the gamut of nautical pursuits - they were shipwrights, fishermen, sailors and, to a lesser extent, explorers. Following the family seafaring tradition, Isabella's father, Captain George Reede, left the town at the age of eighteen to join the United States Navy, was stationed in Naval Base Kitsap in order to be closer to home, and continued to serve with distinction until his honorable discharge in 2004 due to injuries sustained in an engineering deck accident during a routine inspection of USS Indomitable, a vessel he commanded since he was in his thirties. He met and married Irene Baxter sometime in his early twenties while he was still attending the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, oblivious at the time of her family's ties to his hometown. By the time the young couple settled back in Gray Harbor due to Irene's pregnancy, she had changed her name to Reede, and her twins, Isidore and Isabella were born shortly after.
Isabella and her twin brother inherited their mother's particularly strong Glimmer potential, and throughout their childhood, always felt a strong connection to Gray Harbor - as strong as their connection was with each other - though neither of them really knew why. But despite sharing the same womb, the twins couldn't be any more different; Isabella took after her adventurous father and often accompanied him hunting, fishing or scuba diving, and Isidore took after his sensitive and gentler mother. The siblings complemented one another's personality well, however, though it was often Isabella that got them into trouble in their childhood years. Their Glimmer abilities manifested early and they often communicated with one another mind-to-mind. They also played pranks with one another through the use of illusions, and did that so often that their mother, fearful for the safety of her children, begged them to stop, though because of their age, the only explanation she gave them was that it was dangerous.
Like children were wont to do when told not to do something, they failed to heed their mother's warning and while Isabella was always up for adventure, as surprising as it was to those who knew her, she was more cautious about her talents than her twin brother, who embraced his own wholeheartedly and was driven to learn more. It slowly became an obsession with Isidore, who kept slipping into Dreams more and more frequently the older he grew and more often than not, Isabella was right there with him - most of the time, she was willing if not because she was unwilling to leave him to Dream on his own, but given that their psychic connection was relatively intense, there were times when she was unwittingly pulled into her twin's explorations.
By the time the twins were sixteen, Isidore mysteriously disappeared from Gray Harbor the night of their Junior Prom. The incident was so traumatizing to both Irene and Isabella that it wasn't long before her mother packed her things and sent Isabella as far away from Gray Harbor as she could. She ended up in the household of George's younger sister, Mary Reede, in New Orleans. Isidore's disappearance remains a cold case in GHPD's files, and his loss took a gradual toll on Irene's health and fractured her relationship with her daughter.
Isidore's disappearance affected Isabella deeply and painfully, and she spent the following years of her life attempting to suppress or deny the existence of her Glimmer abilities, but it was difficult to do so in a place like New Orleans, which was steeped with lore and superstition. After finishing high school there, she managed to obtain a full scholarship to Boston University where she majored in the classics; exploration was in the Reede blood, and the desire to lose herself in another place and forget what she had left behind grew even stronger in her grief. After graduating magna cum laude from Boston University, she applied and was accepted into the graduate program of Oxford University's School of Archaeology, which brought her even further away from Gray Harbor and to other places and at that time, she hardly saw her parents, only seeing them, really, when Mary would host the holidays in New Orleans. She spent most of her time with her colleagues and mentors in Oxford developing her specialty in underwater archaeology, combining her love for exploration and diving in one discipline. She grew particularly close to Doctor Richard Langston of Oxford, regarding him as a second father, and often participated in his expeditions as his research assistant. Much of the research of her master's thesis occurred off the coasts of the Greek Islands as it focused on the Antikythera shipwreck and she bounced between Britain and Greece for a few years.
It was almost inevitable, given the mysterious circumstances with which she left her home, that she would be called back to it eventually. Having finished her master's degree and well into her first year as a phD student, Doctor Langston was asked by Delaware's Global Marine Exploration Company to consult on a project involving the potential discovery and salvage of a long lost shipwreck, which was last documented as having anchored off Gray Harbor Bay in 1895. Given the project's secrecy (as most shipwreck salvages often are, particularly when they're said to carry treasure), Doctor Langston personally asked Isabella to return to her hometown and spearhead research efforts there in hopes of finding additional documentation about the ship's whereabouts. Around the same time, gradually intensifying Dreams about her lost twin started plaguing Isabella and as the compounded stress started to take a toll on her, Langston encouraged her to take the opportunity to take a break from her grueling, formal coursework by undertaking the research assignment. She almost refused him, especially since she didn't want to return to Gray Harbor for any protracted amount of time - it was only her respect and affection for Langston, and her acknowledgment of all the support he had given her in her career, that caused her to relent.
Reluctantly, Isabella left Oxford to return to her hometown, to reunite with her parents and answer the call of the mysteries pulling at her to come home.
Isabella favors her father's coloring by way of looks; she is dark of hair, her skin set with a light tan. Taller than the average woman and set with a physique that suggests regular physical activity, she is blessed with long limbs and an almost delicate bone structure emphasized all the more by what she chooses to wear, and out in public, she typically skirts the comfortable line between fashionable and functional.
Her dark hair occasionally glints with hints of bronze and gold under the sun, often kept loose or in messy tails or topknots. Her eyes are a brilliant green, and are similarly adorned with occasional flecks of gold within each iris, and her mouth is full and expressive - made for brilliant, cutting smiles. Her movements are nothing so willowy or graceful, often quick and businesslike, clearly the type of woman who always has someplace to be; she is swift and mostly silent, and while feminine in appearance despite her adventurous pursuits, there is steel in her by way of manner and demeanor.

2020-01-01 - Old Year's Eve
It's a vignette scene! But there's a tweeest. %r%rThis scene is going to be a collection of character's most memorable New Year's Eve memories, one per character. This is going to be fodder for these vignettes to be cut up, spliced and re-used for GMed Dream scenes in the future for other characters. So if you are writing up a vignette for this scene please be aware that it will possibly be used and mangled into something new for future use. I will re-check with people before using their stories for scenes though. %r%rAnd I will leave this up for a few days for people.
